How to make Aioli?
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the salt, cayenne pepper, egg yolks, water, and garlic paste.
Slowly (and I mean, slowly) pour the olive oil into the bowl, whisk whisking the mixture as fast as you can, until it’s all combined. You can also a stand mixer, hand mixer, or an immersion blender to combine the mixture. It’ll be a lot quicker using those, and it may help your arm not to be so sore ;).
Stir in the lemon juice once all the olive oil has been added, continue whisking the mixture until it has thickened into a thick mayo-like consistency.
Is it safe to eat raw eggs in aioli?
If you are worried about consuming raw eggs in aioli sauce then you can use pasteurized egg yolks instead to reduce the risk of food-borne illness in the eggs.
If you’re extra worried then I recommend not serving this aioli to infants, pregnant women, elderly, or other at risk groups with a weakened immune system.
There are so many different ways to make aioli, with yummy additional herbs, and things added. Here are my favorites that I think you’ll love too! Ad them in at the end when you’d add the lemon juice (in step 3)
Aioli Variations:
- Cilantro – Add 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro and 1 TBS lime juice instead of lemon
- Rosemary – Add in 3-4 sprigs of fresh chopped rosemary
- Sundried Tomato – Add in 1 TBS sundried tomatoes, and 1 T BS fresh chopped basil
This homemade aioli is such a creamy, flavorful, and delicious sauce that you will want to add to everything. French fries, burgers, roasted veggies, you name it!

I have not made this yet. Recipes constantly tell you not to eat raw eggs in a
recipe. They must be cooked. Why are you using the raw egg? Thanks
Aimee says
You can more safely make homemade mayo or aioli with raw eggs by purchasing pasteurized eggs. However I wouldn’t recommend eating it/serving it to someone who is pregnant or has a compromise immune system, otherwise you should be okay.
